This paper covers

- Continuity and change in Australian and global society: the persistence of structural inequalities (gender, class, race, disability) alongside rapid shifts in work, health governance, mobility, and cultural practice
- Depth studies in Social Conformity and Nonconformity (pandemic policing, norm enforcement, deviant resistance) and Work and Leisure (remote-work revolution, gig economy, blurred work-life boundaries)
